RLA Introduces Adaptive Lacrosse Program

The Richmond Lacrosse Association is launching a new program to make the sport more inclusive this year.

The local organization is partnering with their friends at Lacrossing Barriers to include an adaptive lacrosse program, widening the sport for more people in the community.

Lacrossing Barriers, the adaptive lacrosse program, was first developed in 2018 by the Autism Aspergers Friendship Society of Calgary and has since grown.

Now, it is coming to Richmond for the first time with a 12-week session starting Jan. 25 and running until March 29.
